Danny Elfman has revealed that Junkie XL’s Batman theme composed for the caped crusader in last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will not resurface in the upcoming superhero epic Justice League.

In a new interview with Reporte Indigo, Elfman explained that he will instead bring back the theme he created for Batman (1989) and Batman Returns, going as far to denounce Hans Zimmer’s Batman theme composed for The Dark Knight trilogy and say that Batman has only ever had one theme. But the composer did confirm that Zimmer’s Wonder Woman theme would be making a return as he teased the appearance of John Williams’ Superman theme:

“It’s there from the beginning. Hans has done something wonderful, driven with rhythm and so on, but there has only been one theme and it is the Batman theme… yes I used the theme that Hans composed for Wonder Woman, the one that he wrote originally and used a bit – maybe – from John Williams to Superman, just maybe, we’ll have to see it.”

“Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.”

The 7 Deadliest Assassins In DC Comics

In a world full of superheroes, it takes some next-level assassins to get things done on the dark side. For every hero who spent years honing their fighting abilities, there are expert killers who have no problem breaking the law to get things done. Usually, these killers strike for profit, but like most assassins these individuals also strike for personal sake.

Whether it’s fighting with their hands or using a blade of some sort or a firearm, these assassins are some of the deadliest and most tactically proficient characters in all of comics. Comic fans often say that Batman is the most powerful, non-superpowered figure, but all of these assassins have made him sweat or bleed over the years in the pages of DC Comics. In addition to these individual killers, there are also secret organizations like the League of Assassins that work to help figures like Ra’s al Ghul commit their ancient plans. In short, the DC Universe is full of assassins and they have no problem taking what they want.

Danny knows movies scores. He has been inspired by movie scores since a wee lad, and one can hear their influence in his music compositions for OB. I hope he still has the magic. 3 weeks seems so far away.

If he discarded Zimmer’s Flight theme and tones, I will be royally pissed.

why? that’s not Batman’s theme. It’s more of an action piece theme: “Bat Mobile in hot pursuit of the KGBeast”

Quite the humble man he is…not. I loved his Batman theme. But I’d never go as far as denouncing the others. Sad that the hate for Snyder is propagated even in his own movie.

Totally agrees, that is just being very disrespectful to other musician. Loved both John William’s Superman and Danny’s Batman, but reusing both of the theme is just pure lazy. Heard both Hero’s Theme and Friends and Foes, so disappointed, not sure how much work from previous DCEU titles will be used, but seems like it’s going to get sidelined. Not embracing current franchise continuity, but instead choosing his own previous compositions from previous franchise is just so self-centric.
